Merry Christmas! May the humility of the Divine Infant open your hearts to receive all the graces He so desires to pour out upon you. Here are a few sights and sounds around the Motherhouse as we prepare for and celebrate this beautiful Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord.

Some of the Sisters sing Silent Night with accompaniment by Sr Mary Michael on the violin. To listen, just click the play button in the middle of the screen and make sure your speaker is turned up. |
Creche scenes remind us of the humility of our King. Here, Saint Francis adores the Christ Child. |

Sister Maria Gemma, as the youngest novice, has the priviledge of carrying the Christ Child to the manger. |
Here is the manger scene in the main chapel just before the blessing during Midnight Mass. Christ is born for us. Come let us adore Him! |

–Christmas Caroling around Fort Wayne–
In this picture, we gather around our dear Bishop D'Arcy after singing and partaking of his kind hospitality. We also stopped by our University of Saint Francis and, though the students were already on break, we caroled for many of the staff who were still working hard. We had lunch at Bishop Luers High School (thank you so much!) and sang a few carols in the hallways for the students as they changed classes during exams. |

It takes many days and willing hands to decorate. As we beautify the house, we also prepare in our hearts a place for Christ. Sr M Anna Joseph and Sr M Lissetta finish trimming a tree. |
We can't decorate the cookies until we bake them! Jenny, Sr Maria Gemma and Sr M Madeleine (behind) are hard at work in the baking kitchen. |
